Is there any subject that you're not a world expert on?

I've been to the stores I've viewed the TVs the OLED 4k was miles ahead of anything I've ever seen, so stick your patronising tripe up your boring hoop

Standing 3 feet away from a TV playing 4k content is not the same as sitting on the sofa watching the content you have available. Your 4k TV will not show it any better than an excellent 1080p TV.
 
Oh, and right now, 4K is nothing more than marketing. Until content can reliably be delivered in 4K, there is simply no need to be an early adopter.

Internet connections aren't fast enough (of course there are connetions that can provide the bandwidth required). Very few OTA channels are in 4K or even scheduled and there is no good delivery system for movies yet.

Gaming, XO and PS4 both will not do 4k, even the beefiest PC's (we are talking to the tune of $1k CPU's and multi-SLI/Crossfire top o' the line GFX cards) can barely push games at a reasonable framerate in 4K res.

This bit gets me... It's still the same thing?

But manufacturing has gotten really good, so most of these pieces of motherglass are fully used. Instead of slicing up one piece of motherglass into four 42-inch 1080p LCDs, what if you just kept the whole thing as one piece? What would you have? You'd have an 84-inch TV. Use the exact same (or similar) drive elements/electronics and all the various bits, and you've got a 3,840x2,160-pixel, 84-inch UHD TV. Hey, wait .

Brenan is correct about viewing distances have a massive effect on image quality, most people with 1080p TVs sit way too close to their tv to get the optimum 1080p experience.

The bigger the TV the larger the pixels, the larger thr pixels the further back the viewing distance needs to be, with 4k this is reduced somewhat due to the amazing resolution. The higher the res the closer you can sit to your TV without seeing obvious pixelation or artefacts.
